About UsFounded in 2017, WildCat 5e is a student-led organization at Dunwoody High School. We are dedicated to the encouragement of future innovators by fostering a passion for science and technology through robotics. We build industrial-size robots under strict rules, with limited resources, and within a six-week time frame to compete in a difficult field game against other robots. Just like we complete the robot project with real-world time and budget constraints, we also manage our team like a business. With the guidance of volunteer mentors including teachers, engineers, and business professionals, we develop a business plan, create a team brand, formulate a budget, seek mentors, and outline a fundraising plan. We raise funds by applying for grants, seeking corporate sponsorships and holding local fundraising events. |

We operate almost solely on generous donations and sponsorships, and we appreciate any support you or your company can give. We receive very little support from our school system, so fundraising accounts for 95% of our budget. We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, so all donations may be tax-deductible. There are a few ways you can help:

|
MentorshipsWe are always looking for mentors who can inspire us and aid us in building our robot and our business.
